NEW YORK—Juror No. 50, who’s at the center of a possible mistrial in the Ghislaine Maxwell sex-trafficking case, appeared in federal court on March 8 where he pleaded the Fifth Amendment—the constitutional right to refuse to answer questions in order to avoid incriminating himself.
U.S. District Judge Alison J. Nathan, who presided over the case in December, granted him immunity from prosecution with the exception of perjury.
